There’s none of the patriotic flag waving of Saving Private Ryan, this film shows what it’s like to be in a firefight. At some points the film is hard to follow, so if you want to truly understand what happened on Ocotober 3rd then read Mark Bowden’s great novel.

There is just one problem with the film which prevents me from giving it a 5 star rating. Why the hell does it have Sgt. Eversman as the main character when he never even went near the crash site, in fact he and his Chalk 4 went through hell in the lost convoy. Sadly Chalks 1,2,3 roles in the film are downsized when really they’re the ones who fought the battle… anyway’s, ignore my whining, this films is an instant classic.
